The positioning module 210 may determine a previous position through a part of the data.

According to one embodiment, the previous location may include location information obtained via a communication module such as, for example, GPS, Wifi, BT or cellular communication. For example, the previous location may include GPS location information obtained via GPS within a specified time range (e.g., one minute) at the time the previous image was acquired at the electronic device. According to one embodiment, the previous position may include position information determined via acquired motion information (e.g., travel distance, rotational angle, or travel direction) through a sensor, such as an acceleration sensor, a gyro sensor, or a magnetic sensor . For example, if it is determined that the electronic device has moved '1m east' from a specified location through an accelerometer included functionally with the electronic device, the previous location is located 1m east of the designated location Can be determined.

The movement information module 230 can determine movement information of the second position of the electronic device with respect to the previous position (hereinafter, for convenience of explanation, the current position). The movement information may include, for example, at least one of a movement distance (or number of steps of the user) between the previous position and the current position, an orientation time of the current position with respect to the movement time or the previous position. According to one embodiment, the movement information module 230 may obtain movement information based on motion information of the electronic device. The movement information module 230 may acquire motion information of the electronic device through a sensor (e.g., an acceleration sensor, a gyro sensor, or a geomagnetic sensor) functionally connected to the electronic device.

The mobile information module 230 may obtain location information for the current location of the electronic device using, for example, a communication module (e.g., GPS, Wifi, BT or cellular communication module) functionally coupled to the electronic device. For example, the movement information module 230 may use GPS to obtain GPS position coordinate information for the current position of the electronic device. The movement information module 230 may obtain the distance or the angle between the current position and the previous position, or the orientation of the current position with respect to the previous position, using the position information on the obtained current position.

The image acquisition module 250 can automatically acquire a second image corresponding to the current position (hereinafter, a current image for convenience of explanation) based on the movement information.
